      How To Apply Shipping Price Markups

      Here you will learn how to apply shipping markup in the administration panel.

      Step-by-step guide

      1. Login to your admin. panel

      2. Click "Shipping" on the main left hand navigation

      3. Select a provider from the Provider drop down menu . Select "Shipping"

      4. Once you have selected the provider using the displayed grid you can edit the various elements for each shipping option

      1. Simple Markup option
        1. To do a simple markup (non-sliding scale) set the Floor Percentage, Floor Dollar & Floor + Ceiling Weight to 0. Then set the Ceiling Percentage & Dollar amounts to what you want to use. Below is an example:

      e4633a0d-8c2c-4638-bc68-46aabb93121f

       

      2. Sliding Scale Markup option (advanced)

      This allows you to edit the shipping mark-up based on the shipping rates 

          1. Locate the shipping method you wish to edit (i.e Ground Shipping etc)
          2. You may enter an override price, so if you want to offer free ground shipping you would enter 0.00 under "Flat Price"
          3. Floor Percentage Mark-up, this is the max percent mark-up that will be applied to shipping
          4. Floor Dollar Mark-up, this is the minimum amount added as a mark-up on shipping
          5. Floor Weight, This is the minimum weight meaning no matter what all shipments will be calculated as being at least this weight.  
          6. Ceiling Percentage Markup-This is the percentage applied to shipments that are the ceiling weight or more
          7. Ceiling Dollar Markup-This is the flat dollar mark-up added to shipments that are the ceiling weight or more

          8. Ceiling Weight-This is the max weight for the sliding scale anything over the ceiling caps off at the ceiling percentage and dollar. 

            1. Shipping marks up are a sliding scale. if the floor percentage is set to 35%, with a $2 Floor Dollar and a floor weight of 1 then a 10% ceiling percent, $5 ceiling dollar, and 200 ceiling weight. 

              1. Example 1. (We'll use a rounded number, these are not true shipping costs)
                1LB= Rate of $5
                $5+2+($5*.35)=$8.75 (Total Mark-up of $3.75)

              2. Example 2. (We'll use a rounded number, these are not true shipping costs)

                 200LB= Rate of $200 
                $200+$5+($200*.10)=$225 (Total Mark-up of $25)
